Again sorry, Determiners, please help !

In the following paragraph I need to pick out the determiners, and know the difference between the same words if used in another form, for example pronouns or conjunctions.. Please can someone help me? I have tried to pick out what I think are determiners, but I'm getting confused!

>I was born in the Seychelles. The Seychelles are beautiful islands in the Indian Ocean. The islands are quite small, so not many people live there. There are approximately 90,000 people living in the Seychelles at this time. As a child I had such a great time growing up there, and I know that there are many people who would like to go there on holiday. My mother’s family are from the Seychelles. All her sisters and brothers live there. We lived on an island called Mahe, which is the main island. Not all of the islands have people living on them, some only have a few. I think that the style of living in the Seychelles is quite peaceful. There are many different cultures living together peacefully. I am very proud of our heritage as Seychellois people. It is a melting pot of cultures from Africa, India, China and Europe, which for me as a child helped me to appreciate and respect other people. I left the Seychelles to go and live in England when I was nine, but I always love going back there because it is such a great place to have a holiday.

Thank you in advance!
